Copybot and spamming !quit messages.

Previously, Linden Labs has invoked the Terms of Service and the Community Standards against what would be qualified as "spam"... Protest signs, those which spam other avatars without solicitation, and other such. There are people, many, many people, which are putting out devices which spam "!quit" on entering range in a attempt to disrupt the use of a third-party program. I think it's harassment that checkerboarding the grid now is giant, unavoidable messages against CopyBot; endless notecard, instant message, and local chat spamming; and disruptive and unwanted protesting.

Is Linden Labs going to start taking some action about this in the near future, or will we need to endure the catcalls of !QUIT! !QUIT! !QUIT! for many weeks to come? Will we need to enjoy walking past to be shoved a notecard proudly displaying what might as well be a political statement without authorization?

I usually wouldn't adopt this tone, but... There's no way to say it, this is reaching levels of total insanity.

Considering the !quit message does nothing to prevent copybot from operating, the spamming can be considered to have reached near-hysterical levels. I can understand your frustration, Avil.
